Phoenix Arise!

Phoenix Arise!

Out of the Ruins of What has Come Before,
The Phoenix Will Arise!

At this Crossing of Time and Place,
Wind and Water,
Air and Stone,
We,
And All Life With Us,
Dedicate
To All We Are,
And All We've Yet To BE,
Ever in the CHOOSING,
The Know,
The Hold,
The Truth.
The BE.

Here the Circles Rising,
Of Time,
And Seed,
And Shore,
Washing Ever More,
Ever More We do Become.

Breakwaters Beckon,
Wind and Sky Implore,
Up and Down All Universe
Awaits Within Our Door.

Light of Create,
And Darkness of Being Born —
Starlit Dreams and Sunset Shores,
To Be What We Give Our Life Breath to Be,
To Do,
To Love,
To Dream,
In this Place of All Directions,
A Reason of Behold.
Believe.
Unfold.
You are the One.
We are the Dream Untold.

Here in All Telling,
Whispering All Direction,
All Know.
We Are the Ones We Are Waiting For.
On this Stretch of Time and Place,
Compassed We Stand,
All Forces Meet,
All of the Plan.

Elicit Forth a World of Our Own Create!
Fulcrum All Direction,
Reality Awaits.
All Shores of Possibility,
Here Where All Directions Meet,
All the Light that is Needed to Give Our World and Beings Change.
The Compass of Our Choosing,
Our Being,
The Mind Unbands,
Spanning All Directions,
We Arrive,
To Stand For Something, Somewhere in Our Life,
A Depth of Feeling,
A Know that Never Dies,
In these Fallings and Risings,
Renew,
Revive.
All Parts of the Whole,
All Consciousness,
All Know,
Celebrate this Meeting of Mind.
From Every Point of View,
Every Point of Place.
Move in Grace.
You are Perfectly Placed.
Be All You Wish to Know.
Meaning to this Moment,
In Balance With All Force of Dark and Light.
Everyone Arrives.
All Nature,
Alive!

Phoenix Arise!
